Keating! movie - The Arse End Of The Earth lyrics
rate meSong by Company B<br /><br>
GARETH EVANS:<br>
Another morning in the PMC<br>
We've got the latest on the CAD<br>
It's only four percent of GDP<br>
But it's causing little tremors at the NAB<br>
You want your funding for the AME<br>
We'll have to sneak it past the ERC<br>
And the PMO observers of the GNE are nervous<br>
It's another day of service in the ALP.<br>
<br>
PAUL KEATING:<br>
My land is burning with bureaucracy<br>
To scared to contemplate its worth<br>
Inert and dreaming of democracy<br>
Too struck by sun to get things done<br>
At the arse end of the earth.<br>
<br>
EVANS:<br>
Another morning in the monarchy<br>
We've got the model from the RAC<br>
About as minimal as it can be<br>
But you might have blown your chances for an OBE<br>
They're gonna try and pull the train off track<br>
They're lining up to fly the Union Jack<br>
And the tyranny of distance and the path of least resistance<br>
And you gave the Queen assistance when you goosed her back.<br>
<br>
KEATING:<br>
We have one golden opportunity<br>
To see our brand new flag unfurled<br>
To rise with shining eyes in unity<br>
It's hard to stand with heads in sand<br>
At the arse end of the world<br>
<br>
KEATING AND EVANS:<br>
We can move this world<br>
We can chance this place<br>
Shifting inch by inch<br>
At a glacial pace<br>
Take it step by step<br>
Build it brick by brick<br>
Important innovations<br>
And delicate equations<br>
I'm running out of patience, can we make this quick?<br>
Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick!<br>
<br>
EVANS:<br>
Another morning in the ACT<br>
Remind Australia that we're young and free<br>
But every channel seems to disagree<br>
With the possible exception of the ABC<br>
We're getting hammered by the tabloid press<br>
We must be pissing Rupert off, I guess<br>
'Cos they're calling us elitist and the polling is defeatist<br>
And we hope that every street is watching SBS!<br>
<br>
BAND:<br>
Oh yes! Oh yes!<br>
<br>
KEATING:<br>
We hear the siren song of destiny<br>
A call to rapturous rebirth<br>
We dare to recognise our history<br>
The future's bright for black and white<br>
At the arse end of the earth<br>
What better place to make your base than the arse end of the earth?<br>
<br>
